Szalko,Maciej vs. Kalyoncu,Ilker - WACC U2000 Open 2024 1-0
In the game between Maciej Szalko and Ilker Kalyoncu during the WACC U2000 Open 2024 on October 28, 2024, the move e5 played by Black had significant implications. This move followed a capture and posed a direct threat to win material. However, it resulted in a material loss in exchange, as it overlooked a more advantageous knight move. Additionally, it ignored a superior opportunity that could have been seized to reveal an attack. The move also unnecessarily sacrificed a piece while revealing a blocked attack, ultimately missing the optimal chance to create an attack. While it did force White to move a piece, it failed to capitalize on a winning tempo and did not provide a better escape from the ongoing threats. Furthermore, this decision missed the opportunity to escape an impending attack and neglected the chance to compel White's response. Although it developed a piece for more active play, it also failed to take advantage of developing other pieces effectively.
